SN 2025ogs: A Spectroscopically-Normal Type Ia Supernova at z = 2 as a Benchmark for Redshift Evolution

M. R. Siebert, J. D. R. Pierel, M. Engesser +20

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will provide a revolutionary measurement of the Universe's expansion kinematics, driven by dark matter and dark energy, out to .…

Spectropolarimetric Evolution Reveals Dual-Axis Ejecta in the Atypical Magnetar-Powered SN 2012au

Sabrina DeSoto, JenniferL. Hoffman, G. Grant Williams +7

We present six epochs of optical spectropolarimetric observations of the unique and slow-evolving Type Ib supernova (SN) 2012au, between 0 and 295 days post R-band maximum. The pol…

Spectropolarimetry of SN 2023ixf reveals both circumstellar material and helium core to be aspherical

Manisha Shrestha, Sabrina DeSoto, David J. Sand +33

We present multi-epoch optical spectropolarimetric and imaging polarimetric observations of the nearby Type II supernova (SN) 2023ixf discovered in M101 at a distance of 6.85 Mpc.…

Spectropolarimetric modeling of interacting Type II supernovae. Application to early-time observations of SN1998S

Luc Dessart, Douglas C. Leonard, Sergiy S. Vasylyev +1

High-cadence surveys of the sky are revealing that a large fraction of red-supergiant (RSG) stars, which are progenitors of Type II-Plateau (II-P) supernovae (SNe), explode within…

The evolution of continuum polarization in Type II supernovae as a diagnostic of ejecta morphology

Luc Dessart, D. John Hillier, Douglas C. Leonard

Linear polarization of the optical continuum of type II supernovae (SNe), together with its temporal evolution, is a promising source of information on the large-scale geometry of…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. IV. Anomalous behavior of the broad ultraviolet emission lines in NGC 5548

M. R. Goad, K. T. Korista, G. De Rosa +99

During an intensive Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) UV monitoring campaign of the Seyfert~1 galaxy NGC 5548 performed from 2014 February to July, the…

Type Ia Supernovae Strongly Interacting with Their Circumstellar Medium

Jeffrey M. Silverman, Peter E. Nugent, Avishay Gal-Yam +31

Owing to their utility for measurements of cosmic acceleration, Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are perhaps the best-studied class of SNe, yet the progenitor systems of these explosions l…

Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP) Observations of Type II Supernovae: Evidence for Three Distinct Photometric Subtypes

Iair Arcavi, Avishay Gal-Yam, S. Bradley Cenko +12

We present R-Band light curves of Type II supernovae (SNe) from the Caltech Core Collapse Project (CCCP). With the exception of interacting (Type IIn) SNe and rare events with long…

Calcium-rich gap transients in the remote outskirts of galaxies

Mansi M. Kasliwal, S. R. Kulkarni, Avishay Gal-Yam +25

From the first two seasons of the Palomar Transient Factory, we identify three peculiar transients (PTF09dav, PTF10iuv, PTF11bij) with five distinguishing characteristics: peak lum…

Evidence for Type Ia Supernova Diversity from Ultraviolet Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope

Xiaofeng Wang, Lifan Wang, Alexei V. Filippenko +93

We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy and photometry of four Type Ia supernovae (SNe 2004dt, 2004ef, 2005M, and 2005cf) obtained with the UV prism of the Advanced Camera for Sur…

Seeking the Progenitors of Type Ia Supernovae

Ferdinando Patat

The nature of the progenitor system[s] of Type Ia Supernovae is still unclear. In this contribution I review the projects that have been undertaken to answer this question and the…
